Respect for the Dead (2)
Makeup for the corpse and a million annual salary, the tough life really doesn't need to be explained.
Although you make a lot of money in this business, it is not easy, and there are even more taboos. In the final analysis, the funeral parlor is to do things for the deceased, so that the deceased can die in a beautiful and beautiful way. But there are two kinds of deceased, one is the old man who is dying, and this type of deceased is the most popular in funeral homes because of the simple operation process. And the other is the sudden misfortune of the prime, this kind of deceased they are usually considered to have a very heavy evil spirit, when encountering this kind of deceased, the funeral home staff usually put a gossip Guanyin single dragon and single phoenix possession pendant in the pocket to avoid the evil spirit, and then throw it away after doing the job, before going home, you have to go to the public toilet to drain the filth, and then take a bath, dust off everything left by the funeral home, the process is very cumbersome, in the final analysis, just to make a hard money and bad luck.
I have a sensitive nose, and after getting along with the people in the funeral home for a long time, I can always smell a special pungent smell on their bodies, and then my second uncle told me that it is called the smell of the dead, I was very surprised to hear it, the first time I heard that the dead still have a smell, this statement is too ridiculous.
The second uncle disagreed, he said that there is a smell on the body of the living, not to mention the dead who have lost their three souls and seven souls, without the soul to press the body, the filth in the body is easy to see. When I thought about it, what he said was quite reasonable, just take the second uncle to talk about him, and the pungent masculinity on his body is memorable.
He gave me a disdainful look and said I didn't know how to do it. Have you seen Animal World before? I used to look at the animal world and say that the male musk deer is a strong body odor looking for a mate, the heavier the musk, the more popular it is, the fox smell on his body is like musk, it is extremely easy to provoke the love and worship of the opposite sex, but looking at his hot opposite sex, this kind of bullshit crooked reasoning makes me have nowhere to refute.
The life of people who work in funeral homes is very boring, and it is basically a life of commuting to and from work. Due to the special nature of this profession, I have been dealing with dead people for a long time, so no matter how good my economic conditions are, not many people are willing to have a relationship with them, so a large number of unmarried older young people have been killed. Someone once ridiculed the industry like this, and the spare time life of the funeral home staff is basically on a blind date, if not, then it is also on the way to a blind date.
It stands to reason that since there are so many single men and women in the industry, they can digest it internally to be self-sufficient, but in fact, it is not only the outsiders who taboo this profession, but even they themselves are quite taboo, so the industry almost will not look for the industry. On the one hand, they want to get out of the industry permanently, and on the other hand, they can't give up this high-tech, so these people have been struggling with contradictions for almost a long time.
After nearly a month of special training, I went from being timid about the corpse to having no waves in my heart, and I even sometimes felt that the corpse was no different from pork in front of me.
I think it's very likely that my heart is starting to twist and pervert, and if not, then I'm also moving forward on the path of perversion. Fortunately, my second uncle's timely appearance saved me, and he told me very ceremoniously that my courage was completed and I could leave the funeral home to work with him. When I heard this, I immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and almost knelt down to thank his eighteenth generation ancestors, this place is not a living place at all.
However, the next second we took the job was staggering, and listen to me slowly.
I remember very well that day at noon, I was bored snoring in bed, and my second uncle was smoking a cigarette and looking at his book of stories that I don't know the years and months.
You are my lover, a woman like a rose, you ,,, with that fiery lips" Suddenly, Daolang's hoarse and vicissitudes of life rang from the loudspeaker with eighteen marquees on the belt of his second uncle's trousers, and after he connected it, he simply coped with a few words, and pulled me up from the bed, saying that there was work to do.
This makes my heart a little excited, after all, I haven't made money for a long time, but when my second uncle told me the content of this life, I was disappointed, because today's life is very boring, that is, a mother-in-law in Cao Village next door died, and the filial piety basin can't be broken when the funeral is broken.
Say a thousand, say 10,000, this time the work is probably to go to the funeral to do things, so that the forced style will fall directly to Mount Everest to the Mariana Trench, I was very depressed and said to the second uncle, he derived the craft passed down from the ancestors into a crooked way for the ancestors to know, I am afraid that he will open the coffin plate to trouble him.
The second uncle disagreed, on the contrary, he said to me with disdain that it was the general trend for him to diversify his business development, and his ancestors knew that it was too late to thank him. His sophistry made me very helpless, and it seemed that I had really embarked on a path of no return.
Here I want to explain to you what is called the filial piety basin, "the filial piety basin" is the clay pot used to burn paper in front of the spirit is broken, it is a ritual before the funeral, this basin is called the yin and yang basin, commonly known as the mourning basin, but it is also called the auspicious basin. This ritual is very important, the person who throws the pot is generally the eldest son or eldest grandson of the deceased, and the filial piety pot probably has three meanings: one is to throw out the frustration of the filial piety; the second is to send the paper money burned by everyone to the deceased through the earth to the "underworld"; The third is that the broken filial piety basin indicates that the filial piety family will no longer be used, let alone mourn, and the deceased will be reincarnated smoothly in the next life. The pot is broken once, and even the more broken the better, because according to custom, this pot is the deceased's pot, and the more broken it is, the more convenient it is for the deceased to carry.
A crockpot can't be broken no matter how it falls, and there are indeed some doorways in it. My second uncle and I hurried to Cao Village and came to the mourner's house to learn about the basic situation of the deceased.
The deceased was 32 years old, died of a sudden high fever three days ago, there was no obvious major illness before her death, her death came suddenly and the process was extremely fast, from the onset to the throat in half an hour, the specific cause of death is unknown.
The funeral scene was crying and crying, and the unbreakable filial piety basin was still placed in front of the coffin, and the eight coffin bearers on the side looked at it with blank faces and did not know what to do.
The second uncle squatted down and picked up the filial piety pot and tinkered with it for a while, this is how an ordinary clay pot can't be broken or broken.
"It's not scientific!" The second uncle said very puzzled.
The second uncle came coldly, this sentence almost didn't choke me alive who was eating apples, he used feudal superstition to make money and had nothing to say, but he always felt very funny when he talked about the word science.
"Xiao Cao, this matter is a bit tricky! Prepare for it here, it seems that the altar is going to be opened. The second uncle frowned, and from his expression, it seemed that the sky was about to fall.
When I heard my second uncle's words, my brain was almost exploding, I am afraid that this is the first time since Pangu opened the world that this is the first time that I have done it at someone's funeral, so my so-called heir is too cheap.
